Pentair to Acquire Erico Global Company

Pentair PLC

Pentair Plc has agreed to buy Erico Global Company for US$1.8 billion in cash, including the repayment of Erico debt. The purchase will expand Pentair’s portfolio in growing commercial and industrial sectors.

Based in Solon, OH, Erico is a global manufacturer and marketer of engineered electrical and fastening products for electrical, mechanical and civil applications. The company has 1,200 employees in 30 countries.

Brands include:
• Caddy fixing, fastening and support products
• Erico electrical grounding, bonding and connectivity products

“The addition of Erico’s complementary business will expand our presence in the commercial and industrial sectors,” says Randall J. Hogan, Pentair Chairman and CEO. “Erico has a strong global business and valued brands, making it a perfect fit for Pentair. We have similar cultures and serve similar industries with complementary products, which will create a broader and stronger offering for our end users.”

The transaction values Erico at 12 times its 2015 forecasted EBITDA. The transaction is expected to close this year.
